Mr.. Jerry Illich, the popular res
tauranteur, has lately branched out
into new lines of business, and bids
fair shortly to become a miller and a
vigneron. He purchased the other
day, for 1000, fifty-two acres of
vineyard, which surround the old
Puente mill. This property is beauti-
fully located about half mile east of
the old Temple homestead, commands
an exquisite view of the whole range
of the San Gabriel Valley and environ
ing mountains, and possesses a water
power which will be invaluable for
manufacturing purposes some day.
Mr.. Hitch invited a select party of
friends to partake OF lunch on his new
acquisition yesterday, and it is need
less to say that he presided over the
well-loaded board with his customary
grace. Jerry has got hold of capital
bargain, and whether he reserves it
for, the ample income his mill and
thrifty vineyard will yield him, or
succumbs to the temptation to sell at
an advance, he cannot fail to come out
largely ahead. The seventy-five
inches of water which go with the
ranch, alone count up in the dollars
and cents.
